Learning Profile-Final

This is the last and a summary assignment for my blog. I've learn quite a bit in this class as some others weren't interesting. An overall summary of the common themes I read in the text book was the one and only time the class were asked to read and write as an assignment was Ch. 5: Learn. We are led to truth by our weaknesses as well as our strengths. This is where I've learned about myself which I didn't know. I learned my learning style, personality type, dominant intelligence, etc. My strengths as a learner is to listen and watch and do it after them. As I am majoring in Auto Collison Repairer I know that I like to listen and be shown how to use tools and fix parts. My weaknesses is sometimes I miss out when I have other things on my mind. I short of get stressed out when I have so much to do. But at the same time I learned how to control my schedule by take things one step at a time. But coming to this class was as much to me. This is my second year and I pretty much know my way around and work things. I have my plans shorted out and I'm good to go. But the most important skills I learned was visual. As I said before I like to watch and learn. I work and learn better when someone teaches and show me at the same time.

Academic Honesty

Academic honesty has a lot to do with cheating and plagiarism. There are even more issues to this. People nowadays do wrongful things to overcome their fustrations for example like on homework by copying off answers from another paper. One of the most common forms of cheating is "plagiarism". It's when a person uses another words or ideas without proper citation. Thats why theres such thing as a copyright law. Which in other terms don't steal. Therefore teacher at schools take close attentions to students when it comes to a writting assignments. Teachers should explain this situation for their understanding to not do stupid things. Because if you get busted doing this you are in deep trouble and it can push you back instead of going foward with your life.

Coping with Changes

Coping with changes is what everyone deals with. You go through changes in life no matter whats the situation is. I've been through changes in good times and bad times. The biggest change in my life is being a teenager turning at the age 16. Reasons is because you can drive. Other changes are your appearance, facial hairs, personality , etc. For the most part is turning 18 knowing that you become an adult. Nowadays I do things on my own after being used to my mothers doing so much for me. 'Cause now I make my own appointments, write my own signatures on important paper signings. I'm more mature and know my ways. I learn a lot bout myself when growing. I live at El Dorado going to Butler. That's also another change. I'm use to being around with my family and girlfriend. But now I'm on my own with friends and others I meet. It doesn't bother me as much because every weekened I go back to visit them. I enjoy my life before and now and looking foward to my future!

Academic Plan

I'm currently in my second year here at Butler. Just about halfway through achieving my goals. Of course first thing first is to make it through and graduate to earn my Associate degree and certification in Auto Body Repairer. I already know what class is required and guarantee to pass with a good grade. After graduating from Butler I'm still continuing to go finish the rest of my 2 year at WSU to get a Bachelor degree. So basically I'm doing a 4 year deal. Shortly I will get my own apartment and start working. Till then I will be realizing I'm doing y career that I dreamed to do. Work as much hour I can get to get big money and purchase my dream car. During my time I will get married with my soul-mate I'm with now, living in a much bigger house. I haven't mentioned yet I also want to get an degree in business at WSU. Therefore I could get my own place. I know what it takes to get there and I'm doing it slowly and taking it one step at at a time. Good luck to me, myself and Orlando.
